Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric [4 + 3] cycloaddition of the methylene-trimethylenemethane donor with an azadiene has been developed, affording benzofuro[3,2-b]azepine-derived exocyclic chiral allene with control of axial and point chirality. The target compounds were generated in good to excellent yields and with high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities (up to >20 : 1 dr, 99% ee). Furthermore, this cycloaddition reaction could be efficiently scaled-up and several synthetic transformations were accomplished for the construction of useful chiral allenol and chiral spirocyclic derivatives.

Abstract
The synthesis of allenyl boronates is an important yet challenging topic in organic synthesis. Reported herein is an NHC-gold-catalyzed 1,3-H shift toward allenyl boronates synthesis from simple propargylic B(MIDA)s. Mechanistic studies suggest dual roles of the boryl moiety in the reaction: to activate the substrate for isomerization and at the same time, to prevent the allene product from further isomerization. These effects should be a result of α-anion stabilization and α-cation destabilization conferred by the B(MIDA) moiety, respectively. The NHC-Au catalyst, which is commercially available, is also found to be reactive in alkyne-to-1,3-diene isomerization reactions in an atom-economic and base-free manner.

Abstract
The radical 1,4-functionalizations of 1,3-enynes have emerged as a powerful strategy for the synthesis of multisubstituted allenes. However, the phosphorus-centered radical-initiated transformations remain largely elusive. Herein, visible-light photoredox catalytic regioselective radical hydrophosphinylation of 1,3-enynes with diaryl phosphine oxides as phosphinoyl radical precursors has been realized. This protocol features mild conditions, a wide substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance, producing a diverse range of phosphinoyl-substituted allenes in moderate to good yields with high atom economy. Detailed mechanistic experiments revealed a radical-polar crossover process in the reaction.

Abstract
Bioisosteric replacement has emerged as a clear strategy for drug-structure optimization. Naphthalene is the core element of many chiral pharmaceuticals and drug candidates. However, as a promising isostere of naphthalene, the chiral version of 1,2-benzazaborine has rarely been explored due to the lack of efficient synthetic methods. Here we describe a copper-catalysed enantioselective hydroboration of alkenes with 1,2-benzazaborines. The method provides a general platform for the atom-economic and efficient construction of diverse chiral 1,2-benzazaborine compounds (more than 60 examples) that bear a 2-carbon-stereogenic centre or allene skeleton in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Three 1,2-benzazaborine analogues of bioactive chiral naphthalene-containing molecules have been prepared, and a series of transformations around chiral 1,2-benzazaborines have also been developed. Notably, the hydroboration process of this study reveals that the identity of 1,2-benzazaborine plays an essential role in the rate-determining step and catalyst resting state.

Abstract
We have developed a straightforward and rapid methodology for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted allenes bearing carboxylic acids in the 1,3-position through the gold(I)-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals to ynones. The reaction was evaluated with several substrates, and 21 allenes were obtained in moderate to good yields. Using DFT calculations, we studied the mechanism of the reaction, which suggested a nucleophilic 1,4-addition pathway. The potential of allenes to act as a source of highly functionalized lactones was also explored.

Abstract
We herein report regio- and enantioselective arylation of β,γ-alkynyl-α-imino esters with pyrroloisoquinolines. Using chiral phosphoric acid catalysts, a wide range of novel axially chiral tetrasubstituted α-amino allenoates were accessed in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Notably, this transformation occurred preferentially at the sterically more hindered C1-position of pyrroloisoquinolines. The potential scalability and late-stage functionalization demonstrated the utility of the current protocol.

Abstract
In the presence of visible light irradiation, organophoto/nickel dual catalysts, and the mild base K2HPO4, 1,3-enynes react with silanecarboxylic acids to give the corresponding α-silylallenes with high selectivity. In this uniquely decarboxylative hydrosilylation of 1,3-enynes, a silyl radical process is involved and diverse electron-rich and -poor substrates proceed smoothly in moderate to excellent yields. This transformation is particularly synthetically worthwhile when using MeOD as the solvent, which furnishes new access to α-silyldeuteroallenes.

Abstract
An electroreductive carboxylation of propargylic alcohols with CO2 and then workup with TMSCHN2 to construct tetrasubstituted 2,3-allenoates is developed. This method allows the incorporation of an external ester group into the resulting allene system through electroreduction, carboxylation, and deacetoxylation cascades. Mechanistically, electricity on/off experiments and cyclic voltammetry analysis support the preferential generation of the CO2 radical anion or the 3-aryl propargylic acetate radical anion based on the electron nature of the aryl rings.

Abstract
Stereoselectivity control and understanding in the metal-catalyzed reactions are fundamental issues in catalysis. Here we report sterically controlled rhodium-catalyzed SN2'-type substitution reactions of optically active tertiary propargylic alcohols with arylmetallic species affording the non-readily available enantioenriched tetrasubstituted allenes via either exclusive syn- or anti-β-OH elimination, respectively, under two sets of different reaction parameters. Detailed mechanistic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) studies reveal that the exclusive anti-Rh(I)-OH elimination is dictated by the simultaneous aid of in situ generated boric acid and ambient water, which act as the shuttle in the hydroxy relay to facilitate the Rh(I)-OH elimination process via a unique ten-membered cyclic transition state (anti-TS2_u). By contrast, the syn-Rh(III)-OH elimination in C-H bond activation-based allenylation reaction is controlled by a four-membered cyclic transition state (syn-TS3) due to the steric surroundings around the Rh(III) center preventing the approach of the other assisting molecules. Under the guidance of these mechanistic understandings, a stereodivergent protocol to construct the enantiomer of optically active tetrasubstituted allenes from the same starting materials is successfully developed.

Abstract
An unprecedented nickel-catalysed enantioselective hydromonofluoromethylation of 1,3-enynes is developed, allowing the diverse access to monofluoromethyl-tethered axially chiral allenes, including the challenging deuterated monofluoromethyl (CD2F)-tethered ones that are otherwise inaccessible. It represents the first asymmetric 1,4-hydrofunctionalization of 1,3-enynes using low-cost asymmetric nickel catalysis, thus opening a new avenue for the activation of 1,3-enynes in reaction development. The utility is further verified by its broad substrate scope, good functionality tolerance, mild conditions, and diversified product elaborations toward other valuable fluorinated structures. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations provide insights into the reaction mechanism and the origin of the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
It is challenging to enantioselectively construct molecules bearing multiple nonadjacent stereocenters, in contrast to those bearing a single stereocenter or adjacent stereocenters. Herein, we report an enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of substituted chiral allenes with nonadjacent axial and two central chiral centers through a combination of retro-oxa-Michael addition and palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allenylic alkylation. This methodology exhibits good functional-group compatibility, and the corresponding allenylic alkylated compounds, including flavonoid frameworks, are obtained with good yields and diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities (all >95% ee). Furthermore, the scalability of the current synthetic protocol was proven by performing a gram-scale reaction.

Abstract
A class of prochiral allenylic di-electrophiles have been introduced for the first time as three-atom synthons in cycloadditions, and a new type of [4+3] cycloaddition involving transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective sequential allenylic substitution has been successfully developed, enabling challenging seven-membered exocyclic axially chiral allenes to be accessed in good yields with good enantioselectivity. Through the addition of a catalytic amount of ortho-aminoanilines or ortho-aminophenols, the racemization of the [4+3] cycloaddition products is effectively suppressed. Mechanistic studies reveal that elusive Pd-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular allenylic substitution rather than intermolecular allenylic substitution is the enantio-determining step in this cycloaddition. By tuning the ligands, a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetric allenylic substitution leading to linear axially chiral tri-substituted allenes or a Pd-catalyzed tandem desymmetric allenylic substitution/β-vinylic hydrogen elimination (formal enynylation) leading to multi-functionalized 1,3-enynes is achieved chemodivergently.

Abstract
A method for the synthesis of allenes by the addition of ketones to 1,3-enynes by cooperative Pd(0)Senphos/B(C6F5)3/NR3 catalysis is described. A wide range of aryl- and aliphatic ketones undergo addition to various 1,3-enynes in high yields at room temperature. Mechanistic investigations revealed a rate-determining outer-sphere proton transfer mechanism, which was corroborated by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of propargylic electrophiles and Grignard reagents provides densely functionalized products that are extremely useful synthetic intermediates. However, examples of conversion of propargylic derivatives to form propargyl compounds remain limited due to the challenging regioselectivity. We use LaCl3·2LiCl to catalyze propargylation of Grignard reagents in the absence of ligand in high regioselectivity and stereospecificity. The approach shows a wide substrate scope using alkyl or (hetero)aryl Grignard reagents and alkynyl electrophiles with different leaving groups. Our protocol was further applied for the formal synthesis of frondosin B. It is worth exploring methodologies utilizing the naturally abundant and relatively nontoxic lanthanum catalysts.

Abstract
We have developed an efficient Cu/N,N-bidentate imine ligand catalytic system for C(sp3)-C(sp) coupling to obtain internal alkynes, di/trisubstituted allenes and strained bridged cyclic lactams in moderate to excellent yields from readily available alkyl(benzyl) bromides in one-pot transformation. Density Functional Theory (DFT) assisted mechanistic study along with control experiments support the involvement of bialkynylated copper species which undergo single electron transfer (SET) with alkyl halides to generate radical intermediate in the reaction. The N,N-bidentate imine ligand plays a vital role in stabilization of intermediate copper complex and facilitates the product formation.

Abstract
Herein we report the first example of a Pd-catalyzed highly selective three-component reaction of alkynyl-1,4-diol dicarbonates, organoboronic acids, and malonate anions for the efficient synthesis of trisubstituted 2,3-allenyl malonates not readily available by the known protocols. The reaction demonstrates an excellent regio- and chemo-selectivity for both the oxidative addition referring to the two C-O bonds and the subsequent coupling with the nucleophile with a remarkable functional group compatibility. A series of control experiments confirm a unique mechanism involving β-O elimination forming alka-1,2,3-triene and the subsequent insertion of its terminal C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond into the Ar-Pd bond.

Abstract
We herein describe an asymmetric α-allylic allenylation of β-ketocarbonyls and aldehydes with 1,3-enynes. A synergistic chiral primary amine/Pd catalyst was identified to facilitate the utilization of 1,3-enynes as atom-economic and achiral allene precursors. The synergistic catalysis enables the construction of all-carbon quaternary centers-tethered allenes bearing non-adjacent 1,3-axial central stereogenic centers in high level of diastereo- and enantio-selectivity. By switching the configurations of ligands and aminocatalysts, diastereodivergence can be achieved and any of the four diastereoisomers can be accessed in high diastereo- and enantio- selectivity.

The intermediacy of propargylic acetates enables the divergent and selective synthesis of these valuable products. This method features its readily accessible substrates, relatively mild conditions, wide scope, and scalability in practical synthesis.

Abstract
The β-H elimination, as one of the most important elementary reactions in transition metal chemistry, is a key step in quenching the carbon-palladium bond for the Heck reaction. However, the β-H elimination of the alkenyl palladium species leading to allene is an energetically unfavored process, and therefore, it has been a long-standing challenge in control of this process via enantioselective manner. We developed a concise and efficient methodology to construct trisubstituted chiral allenes from stereodefined fully substituted enol triflates by the enantioselective β-H elimination of the alkenyl palladium species under mild conditions. The identified Xu-Phos play a crucial role in the chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. Multiple linear regression analysis shows the important steric effect on enantioselectivity. DFT computation results allow us to propose an intramolecular base (-OAc)-assisted deprotonation mechanism for this progress. Distortion-interaction and energy decomposition analysis indicate that the difference in electrostatic energy (Eelec) of the two intramolecular base-assisted deprotonation transition states dominates the stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Asymmetric organocatalysis is a growing method for the synthesis of axially chiral tetrasubstituted allenes, the most challenging one among allene syntheses. In this method, chiral organocatalysts such as phase-transfer catalysts, peptides, disulfonimides, and binaphthyl/bispiro phosphoric acids have displayed remote control of regio- and stereoselectivity. Highly functionalized enantiopure allenes including those with an adjacent tertiary or quaternary stereocenter have been efficiently prepared with high levels of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity using this method. Several mechanistic pathways, including electrophilic addition to cumulenolate or zwitterionic enolate intermediates, alkynylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction, nucleophilic addition to quinone methides, and dearomative addition to imino esters, were proposed. The method is necessary for providing access to axially chiral tetrasubstituted allenes, which can be utilized for the preparation of novel ligands, natural products, and organic materials, particularly those having complex structures. This review covers the enantioselective organocatalytic synthesis of these tetrasubstituted allenes and the mechanistic insights into the formation of the chiral axis up to July 2022.

Abstract
Anthrones and analogues are structural cores shared by diverse pharmacologically active natural and synthetic compounds. The sp2 -rich nature imposes inherent obstruction to introduce stereogenic element onto the tricyclic aromatic backbone. In our pursuit to expand the chemical space of axial chirality, a novel type of axially chiral anthrone-derived skeleton was discovered. This work establishes oxime ether as suitable functionality to furnish axial chirality on symmetric anthrone skeletons through stereoselective condensation of the carbonyl entity with long-range chirality control. The enantioenriched anthrones could be elaborated into dibenzo-fused seven-membered N-heterocycles containing well-defined stereogenic center via Beckmann rearrangement with axial-to-point chirality conversion.

Abstract
The development of general catalytic methods for the regio- and stereoselective construction of phosphoryl derivatives from identical substrates remains a formidable challenge in organic synthesis. Enabled by the newly developed BDPP-type ligands, we disclosed a nickel-catalyzed allenylation of phosphine oxides rationally and predictably, allowing the construction of versatile chiral allenylphosphoryl derivatives with high enantiopurity (up to 94% e.e.). Alternatively, using an achiral phosphine ligand dcypbz under acidic conditions, we achieved a regiochemical switch of the 1,3-dienylation to afford functionalized phosphinoyl 1,3-butadienes (up to 93% yield). The salient features of this method include switchable reactivity, broad substrate scope, readily available feedstock, single-step preparation, and high asymmetric induction.

Abstract
In recent years, gold-catalyzed cycloadditions of allenes, especially those involving a gold carbene intermediate, have received significant interest, as they avoid the utilization of potentially hazardous and inaccessible diazo compounds as starting materials for carbene generation. Cycloaddition reactions consisting of the uncomplicated addition of two or more unsaturated functional groups are one of the most efficient synthetic methodologies for the rapid assembly of carbo- and heterocyclic structures from simple acyclic precursors. In this review, we introduce an overview of the advances in the gold-catalyzed cycloaddition of allenes via a metal carbene intermediate and categorize these reactions according to the reaction types of the cycloadditions.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral endocyclic allenes remains a challenge in allene chemistry owing to unfavored tension and complex chirality. Here, we present a new relay strategy merging Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] annulation with enyne-Cope rearrangement, providing a facile route to chiral 9-membered endocyclic allenes with high efficiency and enantioselectivity. Moreover, theoretical calculations and experimental studies were performed to illustrate the critical, but unusual Cope rearrangement that allows for the complete central-to-axial chirality transfer.

Abstract
Different from the traditional two-electron oxidative addition-transmetalation-reductive elimination coupling strategy, visible light has been successfully integrated into transition metal-catalyzed coupling reaction of propargylic alcohol derivatives highly selectively forming allenenitriles: specifically speaking, visible light-mediated Cu-catalyzed cyanation of propargylic oxalates has been realized for the general, efficient, and exclusive syntheses of di-, tri, and tetra-substituted allenenitriles bearing various synthetically versatile functional groups. A set of mechanistic studies, including fluorescence quenching experiments, cyclic voltammetric measurements, radical trapping experiments, control experiments with different photocatalyst, and DFT calculation studies have proven that the current reaction proceeds via visible light-induced redox-neutral reductive quenching radical mechanism, which is a completely different approach as compared to the traditional transition metal-catalyzed two-electron oxidative addition processes.

Abstract
Herein, we described an unprecedented process for generating allenyl radicals through radical addition to alkynyl diazo compounds followed by a 1,2-radical shift with the loss of nitrogen. Using this protocol, radical 1,3-difunctionalization of alkynyl diazo compounds for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted allenes with RSO2X (X = SeR', SR', and I) as the radical sources was developed. The reactions were promoted by visible light without photocatalyst and any additives.

Abstract
α-Allenol is a versatile synthon in organic synthesis. The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of α-allenols from readily available starting materials remains a prominent challenge, especially when simultaneous control over axial and central chirality is required. Herein, we describe the Cr-catalyzed enantioconvergent allenylation of aldehydes with racemic propargyl halides to rapidly access a wide range of chiral α-allenols with adjacent axial and central chiralities. This method features excellent regio-, diastereo- and enantioselectivity control with broad substrate scope, and provides facile access to all four stereoisomers when allied with a Mitsunobu reaction. Preliminary mechanistic studies support radical-based reaction pathways. The synthetic utility is demonstrated by the application in late-stage functionalization and the formal total synthesis of (+)-varitriol.

Abstract
A Rh(II)/boron reagent co-catalyzed unprecedent transformation was established for the rapid construction of multi-substituted conjugated dienones under mild conditions by trapping allene carbocations with oxonium ylides from simple starting points in yields up to 85%. Two CC double bonds, one C-C and one C-O single bond were built in this one-pot reaction. The diversity-oriented strategy was also established to synthesize alkyne ether and dihydrofuran derivatives by a substrate-depended fashion.

The Rearrangement of Alkylallenes to 1,3-Dienes. REACTIONS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/reactions3010006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
1,3-Dienes are vital building blocks in organic synthesis. They underpin many fundamental synthetic transformations and are present in numerous natural products and drug candidate molecules. The rearrangement of an alkylallene to a 1,3-diene is an atom efficient, redox neutral, transformation that provides a straightforward synthetic route to functionalized 1,3-dienes. Herein, we provide an account of this transformation using allenes that are not predisposed by the presence of heteroatoms or electron-withdrawing groups directly attached to the allene. Early reports of this skeletal rearrangement are acid-mediated approaches, with limited substrate scope, but they provide valuable mechanistic insights. More recent transition metal-mediated approaches that exhibit improved substrate scope are described, together with isolated examples that have utilized this rearrangement.
